Letters Patent No. 83,886, dated Nrwemher 10, 1868.

Theschedulcrdfenodtoinwwmml atantanfimmngpmoitheshm 'Be it known that I, hunnssron Sunnms, of the city of Hudson, in the county of Columbia, and Stote of New York, have invented a new and useful Attachment for Gas-Burners; and I do hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation ofthe same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, in which-- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the attachment, as it appears when in use.

Figure 2, a. perspectiyc view of same, when attached to the burner by a. metallic plate-spring.

Figure 3, a. perspective View, when it is attached to burner by a wire spring.

Figure 4, aview of plate-swing detached from biu'ner.

Figure 5, a View of wire spring detached from burner.

Like letters indicate like parts in all the figures.

The desi n of this attachment is to increase the volume of me of the ordinary gas-burner,.'f0r the use of jewellers, dentists, and otherswho employ the blow-pipe for soldering or other purposes wheres. large flame is required. This device also increasesthc illummctiug and thehenting-power of the humor, with out increasing the consumption of gas.

The gas-burner liest adapted to this attachment is that having circular holes or apertures ior the emission of the gas. The slotted or fish-tail burner is not so good for the purpose when the flame is to be used for soldering,

To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention, X will proceed-to describe its construe tion and operstion. Upon e circle of wire, from one inch and a half to two inches in diemeteiyl build up as iow cone or cap, A, of fine sure, by winding it to athickness suficient to retard the flame as it issues fiom the burner, but not so thick as to he impervious to it.

This esp or cone oi fine wire is mounted on a wire or other metallic support, 3), which is itself supported and embraced by a. list metallic spring, 0, which ciasps the base of the burner B, (see figs. 2 and 4,)01" the some wire which forms the support 7) may be bent and coiled around the humor, as shown in figs. 3 and 5. Either can be i'eadily removed, by slipping it up and oil the burner 13,01 by opening the spring 0. I

The construction is simple, the finger being used within the circle, to give the fine wire, as it is being wound, the conical form. But, simple as it is, it is very useful, as well as economical, wherever gas is used or can be had in place of alcohol, or the equally dangerous and expensive spiritrgas, which is now commonly employed to produce a. large flame, by means of a large and spreading wick, for soldering-purposes.

The cap, A, being attached to the burner B, and the gas ignited, the wires of which the former is composed, by intercepting the heme, spread it through the whole extent of the cap or cone A, while most of them become heated to redness, and thereby the whole of the gas issuing from the burner is consumed, and thus not only is the volume of flame increased, but the heat and the illuminating-sheet are also increased.

Ordinarily, with the best simple burner, without some attachment or device for snesting the gas, much of it is lost or unconsnmed, the heat generated, by the combiustion of the oxygen of the atmosphere with it, being insuiiicieut, without arresting it, to consume the gas emitted.

T The dame issuing from the exterior of the cone A 1 is concentrated and directed, by the blow-pipe, as required, the samces the flame of the alcohol-lamp.
